What Would Don Draper Do?

88. Dear Don Draper, How do you feel about “Gossip Girl”?

I don’t feel a thing, but I don’t mind watching. Voiceover narration is a difficult device to pull off. When it fails, it’s grating. And while an annoying gossip columnist makes sense, it’s not interesting. There’s no twist there. Just irritation. I’ll admit bias: I take my reputation seriously. I find it difficult to connect with the fantasy of being a public figure.
